IMPROVEMENT IN GAS-REGULATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 162,703, dated April 27, 1875; application filed.

March 13, 1875.

To all lwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL SLoAN, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners, of which the following is a specification:

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l represents a vertical central section when the gasvalve is closed. Fig. 2 is a similar section when the valve is partly raised.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to an improvement in gas-burners of that class which contain a gascheck, between which and the tip of the burner is formed a chamber for the purpose of producing a uniform flow of gas to the ame.

My improvement consists in combining, with the tapering nipple of the gas-check, a conical cap or valve, which iits loosely over the nipple, and which is provided with a shoulder, in such a manner that between the nipple and the gas-valve a chamber is formed, which assists in regulating the flow of the gas to the ilame, and that when the gas-valve is raised its shoulder prevents it from becoming wedged in the tubular body of the burner.

In the drawing, the letter A designates a gas-burner, which consists of the lower part or socket-piece a, the tubular body b, and the tip c. In the socket-piece a is secured a gascheck, which is composed of a conical nipple, d, open at the bottom, and provided at its `base with a shoulder, d', and at its top with one or more perforations large enough to let out a sufcient quantity of gas for the tip, which may be secured in the burner, the"l tip 'bein g selected to burn-one, two, three, or more feet of gas per hour, as the case may be. Over the nipple d is placed a cap or valve, e,

which is also conical, and which lits the nipple Y loosely, so that between it and said nipple a chamber is formed, which must be lled with gas before any of the gas escapes through the gas-chamber f to the tip c.

When the pressure ot' the gas beneath the valve c rises beyond a certain degree, or if by the action of the llame the pressure in the gas-chamber f above said valve is reduced, the valve is lifted up, and thus the flow oi' gas to the flame is regulated.

On the body of the valve c is formed a shoulder, g, which, when said valve is lifted up suddenly, strikes against the shoulder h of the body b, and thereby the valve is prevented from being wedged in the tubular body.

The burner-tip is, by preference, made of lava or soap-stone, and it is inserted loosely into the tubular body b, so that a tip ot larger or smaller size can be substituted for it, if dcsirable.

The object ot the shoulder d on the nipple is to prevent the cap or valve from rattling or ticking during the operation ot' opening and closing.

What I claim asunew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a gas burner, the combination of the valve c, provided with a shoulder, g, the couical check or nipple d., the tubular body b, and the burner-tip c, all constructed and operating substantially as shown and described.

Ln testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 9th day of March, 1875.
